Question:
In the town I live in, during the week there is usually a minyan after neitz. However, It happens every so often that there is only one shacharis minyan in town which davens before neitz. When that happens, is it better to daven beyichidus after neitz or daven with the minyan before neitz?
Answer:
It is better to daven after netz without a minyan then to daven before netz even though it is with a minyan. The reason for this is because davening before netz, even if it is after “misheyakir” it is still b’dieved to daven Shmona Esrei then.
